      Private jets are a negligible amount of emissions. ALL air travel makes up just 2% of emissions.

      This is one of the reasons Elon is destroying the bird - to ruin our internet and its ability to aid collective action.

        I think your final statement is backwards. The world was car-free not very long ago in the grand scheme of things. We’ve never been fully vegan. I agree we should eat fewer animal products as well as driving less, but just because it was easier for you doesn’t mean it’ll be easier for society at large.
